How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Ludwell, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath resealing at your home in Ludwell

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Ludwell

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Ludwell: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

Resealing in Ludwell: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix.

You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
